DOCTOR FRAZIER BURIED SATURDAY
The Hugo Daily Husonian September 5, 1915 – transcribed by Ron Henson

            The funeral of C.N. Frazier, who died Friday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock at his residence 307 East Bissel street, was held at 10:30 Saturday morning at the residence. It was in charge of the local lodge of the Woodmen of the World assisted by Reverends W.W. Armstrong and C.C. Anderson. The services wee simple and fitted with the beautiful lodge ritual. The funeral cortege then drove to the cemetery at Goodland Academy four miles west of town. There burial was performed at 1:30. The same pastors were at the grave.

            Dr. C.N. Frazier was born 37 years ago last April near Tyler, Texas. The family soon moved to Fannin county where the young man grew to manhood. He received there a common school education and then went to the University of Tennessee where he graduated with his doctor’s degree in 1906. That same year, he removed to Gay, Oklahoma, where, within the next year he married Miss Roby Williams. She bore him one child, Christine, and died one year later.

            This same year he moved into Hugo and later married Miss Liza Hibben, daughter of T.D. Hiben, of Frogville. To this happy marriage was born another daughter, Vivian.

            In 1913 Dr. Frazier was stricken with a terrible attack of the dread small pox then raging in the city. He narrowly escaped death and it was largely due to the devoted care of his wife that he pulled through. The attack weakened him so that he never quite recovered and when he became blood poisoned some six weeks ago he was unable to rally from it. He gradually grew worse and died when the poisoning reached the peritoneal cavity.

            Besides his wife and two daughters already mentioned, he is survived by one brother, John Frazier, and one sister, Mrs. R.J. Smith.

            Dr. Frazier was a man of quiet manner but of strong character. He was a faithful practitioner and was and honest and upright man. He had a wide following over the entire county and enjoyed a lucrative practice. His friends, and they were legion, will miss him sorely.
